  • Title: [Prevention of infection in hysterectomy by local preoperative antibiotics].
    Author: Hägele D, Berg D.
    Journal: Geburtshilfe Frauenheilkd; 1986 Dec; 46(12):906-7. PubMed ID: 3817411.
    Abstract:
    By once-only administration of a vaginal ovulum containing tetracyclin (Mysteclin) in the evening prior to surgery wound infections, in particular following vaginal hysterectomies, are significantly reduced. This does not apply to the infection parameters fever and urinary tract infections, which are not influenced by local preoperative antibiosis. The method should only be used in cases with a low primary infection risk, where it is justified by virtue of the simlicity of performing it, its lack of complications, and its low cost.
